Major Plot Plan Modification and Density Bonus Update (City Project No. PL25-0265)

The project involves a Major Plot Plan Modification and Revised Density Bonus to construct 48 apartment units on a 1.02-acre parcel located at 1600 S. Escondido Boulevard in Escondido, California, within the South Centre City Specific Plan Escondido Boulevard District. The request includes reducing the required common open space to accommodate six additional parking spaces, revising architectural design elements and building materials, reconfiguring storage areas, and relocating solar panel installations to enhance efficiency and compliance. The development qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15332 as an infill project consistent with adopted local planning policies and zoning regulations, and the applicant has submitted a Notice of Exemption to avoid full environmental review. Administrative filings were processed through the City of Escondido Planning Division and the San Diego County Clerk’s Office, with associated fees paid to both agencies. The applicant, Senecio 1600, LLC, represented by Stephan Gaspar, has not provided federal entity identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes, nor have socioeconomic or small business status certifications been asserted. The project is not governed by federal acquisition regulations, and no FAR clauses, contract types, or procurement-specific elements such as CLINs, evaluation factors, payment offices, or COR/COTR designations are present in the documentation. No formal solicitation number, contract value, or invoicing method such as WAWF or IPP was identified; instead, the process centers on local land use approval and environmental compliance under California law. The only recognized contractual contacts are Greg Mattson, the City’s Contract Planner, and Stephan Gaspar, the applicant’s representative. Submission requirements are administrative in nature, limited to physical delivery of completed CEQA forms, supporting documents including the Notice of Exemption and cash receipt, and adherence to filing deadlines without electronic submission options. The project’s success hinges entirely on regulatory approval from the City of Escondido rather than competitive procurement, and all deliverables are tied to finalizing land use entitlements, not performance-based contract execution.
